They need to whet their emotional blades on, cold print, and the polite compliments of a disinterested public frustrate their emotions and desires. The crowning blow, of course, is that the public hasnt much regard for critics either. The regard them as an affront to their-intelligence.

I have in hand a letter from a bright young Berk- shire County lady who says; "People in this country are rather afraid to show their own taste. We have so many self-styled critics who? tell people what good art, theater, music and drama are. The people dont dare approve until they get the critics nod. Why are there critics" anyway? For evaluation, or to keep us from spending money on something we wouldnt like? Or is it to make usr feel bad that weve spent money on something we shouldnt have liked? This sounds as though Im dead set againsttoem, and Im not. I I THINK this young lady represents the average attitude toward critics.

People sound as though they are dead set against they are really not. If there werentsuch things" as critics, they would have to be invented. Critics are like junior officers in a wartime army. During the rough training period the men hate them and swear to shoot them in the back the moment they get to a combat area. But once in action, the enlisted personnel are so grateful that there is somebody else who has to take the responsibility of leadership, whose job it is to point the way and correct mistakes that they follow along like gentle sheep.

course, the mortalityrateof second lieutenants is second only, to that of critics.
